WHAT GREATER EPITAPH

 

What greater epitaph

Could be written

Of any man

Than to say of him

At the end of his life

“While upon his death

He has left no

Large earthy riches,

To his afflicted family

But he has bequeathed

To them a legacy

More precious than gold

More imperishable

Then monumental brass,

A spotless name”
